RE: Multi-room AV distribution

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

On top of this a lot of the hotels I stay in have:

Menu driven Playstation games.
Internet and email.

You get the wireless keyboard and mouse so you can sit in bed and surf.
And the game pad always has a nice long lead for that pre-breakfast
gaming session :-)

I would want to replicate everything BUT the bill!

Many thanks
